Acta Academiae Melitensis: Volume IV: 1883-1924

Abstract

This volume documents the academic and administrative activities of the University of Malta from 1883 to 1913, reflecting a period of refined institutional traditions and expanding academic scope. It details the annual Malta Lyceum prize day ceremonies, featuring formal orations by professors in fields such as Natural History and Political Economy, alongside comprehensive records of students distinguished in public examinations. The manuscript provides a detailed account of the conferment of degrees across established faculties, including Theology, Law, and Medicine, while also documenting the introduction of newer academic distinctions such as degrees in Engineering and Architecture, Literature, and Science. Additionally, the records capture significant ceremonial events and the continued governance of the university through the turn of the century.
